    Well, Dr. Plotkin was very nice. But I thought he was going to talk to me about my diet. And you know, I didn't know if he needed to examine me or what. I got a urine sample and they told me, a nurse told me I'd have to take it upstairs- if they needed that and to the lab up there and I didn't think that was a good idea. I just felt like Dr. Plotkin didn't really, he looked at the computer and you know looked at my history, but he didn't talk about you know, you should eat this or drink this or you should do so and so
